The spring flood outlook for rivers and streams in northeast South Dakota, portions of central South Dakota, and portions of west central Minnesota has been released.
Even though there is snow pack across most of the area, due to ongoing drought conditions, the chances for minor, moderate, or major flooding across much of the region are generally below normal.
The exception is across the Big Sioux basin in Codington and Hamlin counties, where the chances are above normal for minor flooding.
The flood threat through this spring, both in location and severity, will largely be determined by future rain or snowfall.
This report will be updated on February 23, 2023, and again on March 9.
